Pros

I was working in Datadog for more than a year and I had the opportunity to be promoted after 6 months thanks to my hard work. - The workplace culture is great, there is a lot of time spent making sure peoples day to day experience is the best it can be by providing snacks, massages, etc. and the office is amazing in Dublin 2 city center. - Everyone is very friendly and always make time to help you when you’re in need. - Great training and development opportunities. - You get a sense that it is a company that is going somewhere, there is always a drive to be bigger and better than before. - Really interesting Sales challenges each quarter - Great management for the South Europe team – The manager doesn’t hesitate to jump on a deal with you if needed, NO micro-management, 1to1 each week and she has a great knowledges on the market.

Cons

- Process to get the expenses back is long but we do Saving :) - You need to have a strong motivation and be proactive if you go to AE position – quarterly target are high for Europe and because DD is pre IPO, you can feel some pressure about your KPI's.

Pros

Datadog has a strong product, smart coworkers, and a fast paced environment that teaches you a lot quickly. I learned a tremendous amount about observability, technical discovery, outbound prospecting, and how modern engineering organizations operate. The company has also gives reps exposure to large accounts and technical conversations early in their careers.

Cons

The ramp for newer AEs can feel steep, especially in a hgihly competitive outbound environment. Success often depends on timing, territory, pipeline momentum, and consistent coaching. There can also be a significant pressure tied to activity metrics and pipeline generations, which may be difficult for reps still developing confidence and process consistency.
